Hi Gary! We are trying to move toward making these objects behave in a way that is more realistic to construction/installation. My understanding is that you don't need a cabinet carcass in reality to install a Slide-in Range... we've tried to mimic that installation w/ the latest update of the objects. I hope that we will be able to go in the same direction with Dishwashers and Trash Compactors in the future, though those are slightly more complicated because it would be nice to have a countertop automatically cover the tops of those objects. What do you and others think about our adoption of this? I know there is a slight changing in learning curve since version 3.

We are featuring, for the month of November, the generic bonus catalogs Bathroom Faucets & Shower Hardware. These catalog are available to SSA account holders; visit the 3D Library to download them both! 3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com

We have recently refreshed the DatTile® catalog to include their Ceramics product lines. If you have this catalog installed, automatically update it using the menu item "Update Library Catalogs" from within Chief Architect. If you don't currently have this catalog installed, you can access it here, from the 3D Library: http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/684 We are continuing to add product lines to this catalog and plan on releasing additions and updates in the future.

Scott Hall is right! If you are current with your SSA, you have access to a catalog that has a few types of objects like these. Download it here: http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/928 Creating custom symbols for those not represented in the catalog is a good option as well. You can always deconstruct the way we've created these objects to discover settings that we used, if you are interested in making something similar.

We are featuring, for the month of October, the branded catalogs Jenn-Air and TruStile Doors. The access for these catalogs is free to all users (excluding Chief Architect Lite and Home Designer Essentials); visit the 3D Library to download them both! 3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com

Maybe one of these will be similar enough: http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/943
